Previously on Chronicles of Maya: Was it just an illusion?
Z and Maya had grown closer over time. Z considered Maya as a dear friend whom he trusted, and Maya had developed feelings for him. However, sometimes Maya felt that Z still had feelings for his ex. When Z spoke about his past, Maya could see a certain emptiness in his eyes that made her wonder.
One night, while they were together, Z tenderly kissed Maya’s forehead. As she opened her eyes, Maya looked into his eyes and said, “You should call her, you know. Maybe she’s waiting for you to reach out.”
Z was confused and asked, “Who are you talking about?”
“Your ex,” Maya replied, her voice trembling a little. “You both loved each other, after all.”
Z gently lifted Maya’s chin and said firmly, “I don’t want her anymore.”
Maya laughed, feeling a little uneasy. “Then who do you want?” she asked.
Z hesitated for a moment before answering, “Not you.”
Maya laughed again, feeling a little hurt. “I see. Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?”
Z grew exasperated, but before he could speak, Maya placed a finger on his lips and whispered, “Shh… Just sleep now.”
Z hugged her and fell into a deep slumber. Maya watched him sleep peacefully and thought to herself, “I am really in love with you.”
Maya knew that she was emotionally damaged and believed it was impossible for someone to love her the way she loved Z. She longed to be with him, but she wondered if Z could ever feel the same way about her.

This plot is killing now. Next one will be the climax…Cant wait to read it. I really wish, Maya to get answer to her question.
the turn in your story has reminded me the karan johar’s movie’s dialogue “Ek tarfa ishq ki takat hi kuch aur hoti hai”. looking forward for next part of story..hoping Z will also get fall in love with Maya. great write up indeed.
OMG it reminded me of SRK…
Eternal love triangle. Most of the time we dont value what we have and hanker after what we dont or what we have left behind in the journey of life. We forget past can be relived only in our mind, in reality things have moved on. Difficult to create a moment gone by and best thing is to embrace what one has at this moment. Nice story of love and dilemma.
You are good at creating suspense. Waiting for the next episode.
If Maya could see the emptiness in Z’s eyes then she should know he is over his ex and could just be cautious about starting a new relationship because his ex hurt him badly. If he still had feelings for his ex, Maya would see a lot more than just emptiness in his eyes.
That must have been painful that she thought he was still in love with his ex!
The suspense! Thanks for making me want to read more LOL I’m a sucker for stories that seem to have an underdog. Good luck, Maya. Hoping for the happy ending to the story!
I just wish equally deep and worthy Love in return for Maya from Mr.Z. I can’t wait to reach the Climax. The storyline is making me greed more.
I’m in the same situation right now, and I can’t help it. shocks!!!
I’d love to try a good read, especially romance and thrillers, perfect for the coming Valentine’s Day.
Now I kind of feel bad for Maya. What if Z really doesn’t like her back as much as she likes him? I can’t wait to read what happens next!
Wanting someone to return the love you feel for them when you’re emotionally damaged is such a painful situation to be in. I hope Maya can heal and be whole so she can receive the love she desires to have. This is a great story!
I like the mysterty if Z really loves Maya or not. Maya will have to take a chance with Z.
i have watched lots pf movie same story like this,,,,i hope this one could end up on the big screen too
i am intrigued by this post, would be reading the previous links to understand more about Z, Maya and the incidents that happened before. Kudos to building up such an interesting plot
If Maya thinks she can’t be loved because she is broken, then she doesn’t love herself. She can’t expect others to love her until she starts loving herself.
Good going. Story seems to be added with more suspense. People take the things and people in their life for granted. They realize when it’s too late. Let’s wait, what’s next.
GAH! I need more! This plot is absolutely killing me!
This is really good! Looking forward to reading the rest.
This is so intriguing.. Can’t wait for the climax. Love your writing style… Story and sweet yet powerful .
Oh dear, poor Maya. I feel so sorry for her. Hopefully, Z can value her for what she is offering him.
I would hope Z loves Maya. If not she should move on. Life is too short on wasting time with someone who doesn’t appreciate you.
Such a continuing great read. I hope Maya finally finds her power.
Maya’s story really breaks my heart. I have known so many women like her over the years. I’ve been her at one point. Loving someone who doesn’t love you.
Poor Maya. She thinks she unlovable, but really, Z is just not the one for her. It’s so heartbreaking to even read a story like this that highlights how we as women can turn something in on ourselves like that.
Such a good love story. This reminds me of my days when I was dating.
This story makes me value the simple boring love stories that are out there. Boring love stories can be great, truly. The situation Maya is in right now seems quite painful. I do want to know how it all ends though. Thanks for sharing!
I feel sorry for Maya, but she really needs to move on…..
Great dialogue! Really engaging storyline.
Good cliffhanger too!
I can’t wait to see what happens. I imagine they will live happily ever after.
It’s so heartbreaking knowing that someone can’t fall in love with someone who’s emotionally damaged. I can’t wait for the next chapter of this.
ohh woow…always your storyline captured my heart to know what’s gonna happen in next chapter. Job well done 😀 Really love my read. cheers, siennylovesdrawing
Seems like Maya is in for a ride… can’t wait for the next chapter!
Insecurity is never a good thing especially between two people.
Waiting for the end now. What happens to Maya? Will she get her love? And who does Z want now?
That’s a great story. I wonder what will happen next?
Oh love! Why are you so complicated? Well, Maya should also examine herself and make sure she is completely healed as well so she won’t think of herself not worthy of being loved.
Talk about a cliff hanger! Looking forward to the next part!
What an interesting twist, and to encourage someone to contact their ex! I am looking forward to reading the next installment of this story.
Wow, the suspense! I’m already here waiting for more!!
I love this story so far can’t wait to see what comes next!
Mmmm, a love triangle that seems to get a bit steamy. Love this short write, hope to see more!
How interesting! Such a suspenseful pause in the story. I hope she can figure out if Z wants to be with her or if she should move on.
I think there is still a room for love for Maya, I am sure Z has feelings for her
I wish you wrote sooner! I can’t wait to know what’s next
Love is complicated. Hope things go well for Maya and Z!
I really enjoyed this short. I really want to know what happens next!

Good suspense. Can’t wait to read the next episode.
I’m really enjoying this story. I can’t wait to read what happens next!
Maya needs to learn to love herself before she can love someone else. I felt it in my heart when he said he didn’t want his ex and when she asked who do you want? Me? and he replied no, not you. Ugh, my heart broke.
It’s maya again. I love Maya stories. Curious what will happen next. Waiting for next stories about Maya.
Not in love with Ex. Not in love with Maya. What is happening? And why is Maya emotionally damaged? TELL ME NOW…PLS….

This was such a great read! I felt pulled into the story.
This was so good and kept me. I cannot wait for the next episode.
I LOVE following along with this story!
You totally got me hooked and I can’t wait to read what happens next. I’m definitely a sucker for romance whether happy or sad.
When does the next part come out? I am dying to know how it ends!
Every Monday. It is going to be long!
Unrequited love always makes for a good story! I can’t wait to find out if Z develops romantic feelings for Maya!
Love seeing this story unfold. Maya seems like she needs to drop Z and working on learning to love herself.
The situation can be easily resolved. But you, as a writer, have a total control over its resolution. Curious, where you’ll take us on a journey.
The story omg!!! I can’t wait to know what is gonna happen next…
Such a great read! I can’t wait to read the ending of this story
Ahh! I desperately want to read the next part. The character of Z is getting interesting now. You are a wonderful writer, see the comments everyone is waiting for next part.
I’m loving this story! making me so curious to find out what happens next!
kileen
cute & little
A very moving story so far. Can’t wait to read the next installment.
I loved this story how deep the feelings are between the characters, curious to see the rest now!
Omg. What’s going to happen? Will she kill him and herself. Or will she wake up to a proposal.. Can’t wait
This story is definitely carrying on in an interesting way. Sounds to me like Maya needs to step away from Z for a moment and heal heal heal.
Ah, this love story keeps getting interesting and interesting. The way how Maya seducing herself to make Z love her. She has a good personality and I think she will make him love her.
This is such an awesome story! And Maya sounds like a typical Indian woman who is thinking of others except herself.
That feeling of unrequited love is the worst. Good storytelling!
Staying tuned for the next chapter!! Wonder what’s gonna happened to both of them! Hahaha
I love love love love love the story, but my favorite part is the last two lines. “Maya knew it was impossible for someone to love her because she was emotionally damaged. She was completely in love with Z and wanted to be with him, but will Z ever love her the way she did?”. This is sooo true for me, and I know a lot of girls can relate to this. Thanks for sharing your gift with us!
Still waiting for the next part. It reminds me of someone I used to …
“No,not you” can someone punch Maya alread? How old is this girl? She needs to let go already. Z isn’t the only man in the world. Ugh!! I’m literally screaming.
An interesting chapter. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Particularly why Maya is damaged.
I feel sorry for Maya, and I hope this story will have a happy ending! Can’t wait to read what happens next.
Z could still have love for his ex, but not be IN LOVE with his ex. There is a difference. You can look back fondly on your old days and show love, but not want those days back.
Can’t wait to read the next part. Now story is getting really interesting. Let’s hope this love story has happy ending.
And the mystery thickens! Another cliffhanger….waiting for the next. Life is such..we never get what we want in life!
What next? Will Z love Maya or is he still in love with his X..what will happen to Maya, will she be able to take it…waiting for these answers 🙂
Your storytelling is on point. You brought the characters alive and created a great visual for the readers to be able to envision the actions discussed. Great writing!!!
I love to read and have enjoyed this so much. Thanks for sharing and I cannot wait for me.
The suspense is still on, and the ex… waiting!
This is getting very interesting. Is the climax on the next part or will this continue in February ? I’m more excited
